The human body is an ideal environment for the habitat of pathogenic microorganisms that can affect almost any organ or system, causing various diseases and disorders. Among these organisms is given a special place to parasites who live and feed on cells and other nutrients in the "owner" body. According to medical indicators, about 90% of the population of different age categories are carriers of parasites, whose treatment and study are involved in the Medicine Section - Parasitology. The term "parasites" means living organisms of different types that have the ability, set out in the human body, will be introduced into tissues of internal organs, eat cells, juices or digested foods. Foreign organizations can penetrate any part of our body and live in it for a long time or through a person's life. Some types of parasites in the human body do not cause special changes, but there are those that are able to negatively affect the "host" well and cause the development of some serious diseases. In such cases, we are talking about parasitic diseases that require immediate treatment. In medicine, parasites are called pathogenic organisms that carry a parasitic lifestyle in the human body. This includes a variety of bacteria, viruses, fungi, as well as worms, simple, unicellular, arthropods, protozoan invasions and other species.
What are parasitic diseases?
Parasitic diseases (invasions) are a large group of diseases caused by a variety of living pathogenic organisms that multiply within a person. There are about 300 types of parasites that can affect the human body. Parasitic diseases can be caused by pathogenic bacteria and parasitic protozoa, arthropod, unicellular and other parasites or viruses. The list of parasites in the human body is quite large, but regardless of the type, almost all release toxins that destroy cellular structures, damage the internal organs, penetrate the lymphatic flow, blood, which poishes the body and hinders the work of internal organs and systems.
Basically, pathogenic organisms consume nutrients that a person receives along with food. Perhaps this behavior of "guests not guests" explains that many people carry the right lifestyle, monitor their health and food, do not get the desired result, as these "darmers" take all the good, leaving a person only a small particle of useful substances. These creatures are so cunning that they are usually disguised from other diseases, and a person can walk through doctors for years, but do not realize a positive result in treatment.
How do parasites fall into the human body?
Foreign organizations can penetrate the human body in many ways, but most of the time the infection occurs through:
- Water or soil infected with worms.
- Food products that did not go through the desired processing: bad fried meat, fish, dirty vegetables, fruits, dairy products.
- Contact with domestic animals or without -Tet.
- Insect bite.
- Non -compliance with personal hygiene rules.
- Close contact with the parasitic carrier.
Many parasites living in the human body do not have a nervous, cardiovascular or respiratory system, but their reproductive organs are able to throw hundreds of thousands of eggs in the environment. Eggs and parasites larvae are very stable, they can be in the soil, water, foods or personal items for a long time. For example, tapeworm eggs are able to support 15 degrees and maintain their activity vital for 9 months. Almost all parasites have protection mechanisms that cannot recognize and destroy the human body. This is why many parasitic diseases are difficult to diagnose. Pathogenic organisms may be in the gut and lungs, blood, liver, joints, brain and even eyes. The location place of pathogenic organisms depends on its type and other characteristics, both a person and the parasite himself.
Parasites living in the body distinguish substances that help them live in a person for many years. They do not have a digestive system, but yet parasites use only beneficial substances that enter the human body, allowing them to live for many years, while a person slowly loses their health without suspecting the true reason.
Special organizations, in order to adapt to new conditions, use your "devices": pointed hooks, -hawk plates, hard hair, suction cups that constantly harm organic organ membranes. The parasites themselves can be length of several millimeters to several meters, they also have the ability to secrete various toxins that poison the body as a whole, causing not only disturbances in the work of internal organ, but also suppress immunity, destroy the beneficial bacteria of the gastrointestinal tract and overload fury with the belly.
Signs and symptoms of parasites in the body
Body parasites - symptoms of their presence may be absent or seem clinical manifestations of other diseases. For example, lung larvae causes symptoms of pneumonia, pinworms - an appendicitis and parasitic attack - biliary tract bills or a pancreatitis attack.
In addition, parasitic diseases are capable of frequent colds, sore throat, bronchitis and other diseases. You may suspect the presence of parasites in the human body according to the following symptoms:
- Disorders in the work of the gastrointestinal tract: diarrhea, flatulence, frequent constipation, irritable intestinal syndrome
- Pain in the joint and muscle
- Allergic skin reactions
- Anemia: Many "cohabitants" feed on blood, which leads to the development of iron deficiency anemia
- Decrease or increase body weight
- Violations at the work of the psyche. Toxins that distinguish parasites have a destructive effect on the nervous system, causing greater irritability, nervousness, frequent depression, panic attacks and other disorders
- Brooksism - tooth rattle in a dream
- Intestinal dysbiosis
- Violations in the work of the immune system. Many worms and parasites reduce the production of immunoglobulin A, which over time leads to a decrease in immunity. A person is completely defenseless before viral and infectious diseases
- Inflammatory processes of the respiratory tract
- Cancer diseases. Finding the long -term parasite in the body causes a significant decrease in immunity and the degeneration of epithelial cells in cancer
In addition to the above symptoms, parasitic invasions usually damage the liver, kidneys and cardiovascular system, which leads to a violation in their work and the development of many hard -to -treat diseases. It is important to note that all signs above parasites in the human body are not a precise confirmation of their presence. Only professional and high quality diagnoses will help determine the presence or absence of "guests not guests".
How to recognize a parasitic disease
It is quite difficult to diagnose the presence of helminths, especially immediately after infection. Until recently, the only way to identify "strangers" was duodenal sound and feces analysis. The results of such studies have made it possible to determine fragments, larvae or parasites. However, these methods did not always give reliable results. At the moment, modern techniques are used to detect parasites, which allow you to identify almost any parasite.
- Calais Analysis (performed at least 3 times)
- Immunform Analysis (Elisa)
- Elisa Tests
- Serological research methods
- Ultrasound examination of internal organs (ultrasound)
- Computed tomography
- PCR Diagnostics offers parasitic analysis based on DNA analysis
The research results will not only determine the presence of parasites in the body, but also to evaluate the condition of the internal organs, identify other diseases or disorders.
Treatment of parasitic diseases
The treatment of parasitic diseases depends on many factors: a specific type, its size, quantity, patient's age, body weight and other characteristics. A wide variety of parasitic drugs is provided in the pharmaceutical market, but not all medications are able to overcome a specific parasite. It is important to note that almost all parasites violate the work of internal organs; Therefore, the patient should receive a comprehensive treatment, which will be destined not only to the destruction of the invasion, but also to the restoration of the damaged inner body.
In addition to synthetic, antibiotic medicines, against worms, antiparasitic agents that contain natural components are used to treat parasites. Such funds are not against -indications and are well tolerated by the human body.
Only a doctor should treat parasitic diseases after research results and determine the pathogenic organism. The course of treatment, doses and names of medicines are prescribed individually for each patient. All antiparasitic drugs have a large number of contrary and side effects so that you need a medical appointment before their use.
Important in the treatment of parasites is the use of medicines that restore the functionality of the gastrointestinal tract, liver, kidneys, help stimulate immunity, provide the body vitamin preparations. No less than the main thing in the treatment of parasitic diseases is considered proper nutrition. Patients need to exclude their diets of meat and dairy, as they are an ideal environment for the spread of parasites. It is also necessary to completely exclude the use of sugar, sweets. Nutrition should be balanced, high quality and useful for the body.
The prognosis after the treatment of parasitic diseases is basically favorable, but in the event that large parasites of large sizes established in the body or significant damage to the internal organs are observed, it is difficult to predict the result after treatment.
Prevention of parasitic diseases
You can protect yourself from parasites penetration, but only if you observe simple rules. Prevention of parasites in a person's body is in:
- Compliance with personal hygiene rules
- Lack of contact with animals without -Teto
- Avoid children close to pets
- Playing with a child on the street to ensure that he does not select several items
- After playing in the sandbox, be sure to wash your hands
- During the walks, do not eat on the street, only after their hands were washed
- Regular cleaning of the house
- Use only washed and treated vegetables, fruits
- Eat just well -carne fried
- Drink only boiled water
- If any animals need the whole family at home once every 6 months to avoid parasitic diseases.
Compliance with simple preventive rules will allow you to protect against parasite infection, protecting yourself and your family from possible disorders in the work of internal organs, which often manifest themselves against the background of parasitic diseases.
